Does anyone know.......

Hay, Does anyone know anything about Dr. Leonard Fichter in hurricaine WV. I understand that he does Duodenal switch and lap banding. I want the DS myself but I was just wondering if any of my fellow west virginian's had any input on him. I've had my consult and and now going thru my work up the only thing left is my psych eval and a physical therpay consult. I am not only doing this thing for the weight loss (which is a HUGE plus) but I also suffer from SEVERE refulx (feel like I could breath fire all of time ). appreciate any input.

Hi Melissa, Back in the summer I contacted Dr. Fitchers office and was told that due to insurance difficulties he was suspending all bariatric surgeries. Don't know if this is still the case or not but I hope this helps. God Bless you on your journey. Peace, Melissa
